One variant may have a smaller external screen than the Fold 1 while the other device might come without an external display.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Fold Lite after it launches the Galaxy Fold 6 next year.

The tipster said that if Samsung launches a Lite version, it might either ditch the Fold or Flip models.
